British police faced backlash on Tuesday over the case of an 18-year-old student who was handcuffed as he lay dying from stab wounds after his killer falsely alleged a racist attack.
This is the thing that should be focussed on. The police have a duty of care to everyone and they failed appallingly here. The worst thing is watching this point being swept under the carpet as the right wing arseholes make racist capital out of it.
We cant get near that title, American police are significantly more fucked up.
There were 95 deaths directly caused by police in January 2026 alone in the US. There has been 1 in the UK this year so far, 2 if we state this as directly caused by police due to ineptitude.
In an ideal world we wouldn’t have these incompetent fucks running society for the Epstein class, but I’d still take incompetent over bloodthirsty any day of the week.
Unlike what movies portray, it’s actually possible to sustain a penetrating wound to the heart, particularly the pericardium, that will take time to be fatal
A patient can be standing there, talking to you, with a small red spot on their shirt
I’m not defending the cops, but it’s not as simple as people think
Even if it were a true statement, they had a man stabbed in the heart handcuffed rather than getting him immediate medical attention. Like WTF

Man, I thought American police were fucked up…
The British are always trying to top atrocities.

Well, that’s an impressively stupid thing to say
I served in the ambulance service

Have you watched the video?
The murderer is visibly wearing a knife when the police contact him, the victim immediately tells the police he’s been stabbed.
They don’t believe him and don’t even check before cuffing him.
The murderer standing there armed with a knife isn’t cuffed at any stage.
That’s not what I said
Again, I think the cops fucked it
But you aren’t listening, and I don’t care
The point is the cops didn’t even look to see if he was injured. They didn’t ask where he was stabbed. They didn’t look for blood.
Literally just ‘sure ya have’ and cuffed his arms behind his back.
Pure negligence.
18 year old. A kid really, not a man.
So, at what age do you think someone becomes a man?
Sometime around 25, maybe 27.
Some people catch old a lot sooner than others, though
